Will MDMA help him?

Hello Bluelight forums, I am new here, and I come here looking for some honest advice for AFOAF.

She has been in a relationship with this amazing guy, they have been together for around 7 months now. The relationship is strong, and got off to a brilliant start, they would stay up until 5-6am just laying in bed and talking to each other. They have a million things in common, and can't bare to be appart for even 5 minutes.
Unfortunately 3 months into the relationship his father died, he was only in his 40's and the death was completely out of the blue.
This obviously had a massive impact on (lets call him A) A, he was only just coming to terms with the death of his grandfather, which happened a year before, and so he spiralled all the way back down to the dark depths of greif.

The FOAF lets call her D, has tried her hardest to keep his spirits up, she is very close to his family and now lives with A and his mother, and A and D are never appart for a more than a few hours.

The problem is, A is holding absolutely everything in, and it is starting to come out in anger, and unfortunately sometimes D is at the recieving end, she has voiced this a few times, and every time he breaks down into tears and explains he is having trouble handling the grief.
D will continue to grin and bare it, because she loves him so much, even if it means getting hurt by words at times, she knows its not him doing the talking.

D used to take MDMA every weekend, but put a stop to all of her drug activities since she began the relationship with A, out of respect for him and new found respect for herself.

D watched a programme about MDMA, and there were a few people who had taken it as a theraputic thing, to handle grief and to be open, to accept the feelings they were feeling, in a much more gentle, accepting way.
D had the idea of taking the MDMA with A, just once so maybe he would open up and talk about his loss properly, and he seemed relatively keen on the idea, although he has never taken it before.

Although he seemed okay with the idea, D is still hesistant, because she doesn't know wether she actually bring herself to "introduce" him to drugs, she feels it would be corruption in a way, but on the other hand, knows that a huge chat on MDMA, can go a very long way.

So D would like to know, do you think this would be a good idea to help A come to terms with his own feelings? or do you think he should stay away from the MDMA?

It would only be the once, and in a secure environment.

Thankyou for reading, I hope to attain some useful advice, and second opinions.

Can't really predict the outcome of this, but MDMA does have the potential to help people become more accepting of their feelings. In particular if this is the person's intention for taking it.

I wouldn't pressure anybody to do it, but it sounds here like the idea was brought up and he was interested. I would not consider this an act of corruption, it is a genuine desire to help. The results may not what is expected, but the intentions are to help somebody. This is not the same as pressuring somebody over and over again who does not want to try a substance.

Oh and unless it really is a friend of a friend, it's not necessary to use AFOAF on bluelight :)
 
MDMA can be a powerful tool to set feelings free that you are keeping locked deeply inside.
However, this is usually practiced in a therapeutic setting, where people know what the fuck they're doing.
Must say though, with MDMA the chances you will make matters worse are quite small.

Is your FOAF open to talk with a therapist?
If D would join him in a concersation with a therapist, they could make a beginning and D could observe how the therapist goes to work.
She could then take this knowledge with her in the setting with MDMA, so she would know how to prod his feelings etc.
Definitely take some notes about the subjects that have to be dealt with.
Try not to get lost in listening music or cuddling up, which might be hard considering their relationship.
Lastly, dose should definitely not exceed 1.5 mg per kg, your friend D should dose about half to prevent her doing all the talking.

EDIT: With therapeutic setting, I mean there is an underground network of therapists that acknowledge LSD, MDMA and certain other psychoactives for the great potential they have in psychotherapy. Sadly, it is not easy to find these therapists if you are not in on it, and as the drug laws become more strict in the US, they tend to flee to other countries (Scandinavia and Switzerland, for instance).
 
^nice answers :)

Therapy would be a great place to start for him - maybe one or two sessions so that talking about it feels less alien to him and he is more willing to open up (without the drug).

Once that hurdle is overcome then if you’re D suggests taking MDMA with him, not specifically aimed at discussing this issue but simply to have a relaxing night together. Sometimes just being able to address the feelings of grief (in your own head/mind space) when on MDMA is enough to put things into perspective.

If A opens the topic of his grief then great - if not then I wouldn’t push the subject but simply enjoy the roll together and then get back to the therapy.

I don't think D should feel guilty about wanting to help her BF with the use of MDMA.
